Well, my first movie going experience happened after surgery.  I had a big ass water and no popcorn.  I missed the corn, the smell was evil.  But I thought about the fact that half the time I ate it I would feel sick and my sugar would hit 300+ and how it gave me gas.  I don't feel so bad though.  In a few months or so I'll be able to have nuts.  I plan on bringing in my own food to the theater and I'll just have nuts.  The crunch is the key.  And I'll probably be able to have a little popcorn if I want, no more than half a handful...but if I want its there.  But I doubt I'll want it after awhile.  Sadly the moive was Prince Caspian and it wasn't that good.  Pretty but hollow compared to the first one.

But I did discover yummy soup at Big Lots of all places.  Ranchero Tomato Soup.  WIN.  So very good.  Yes it has  a bit of bean in it, but the stuff is mushy as can be.  And freaking gooooood.

Also, I went out and got sugar free creamsicles and diet soda flavored ice pops.  Yay for keeping everything down.  I'm being good and it rules.

www.bariatriceating.com is a site everyone should check out.  I bought her book and I bought a bariatric cookbook as well.  Both of them have giving me hope that I won't be starving and I'll be able to have good food and stuff I actually like.  I'm so burned out on the crappy food I used to eat I'm looking forward to being able to eat good food that doesn't hurt me.  Her book is AMAZING.  Sugar Free/Low Sugar at home blizzards with protein!  I never thought I'd be so happy to read those words, but she tells you how to make them.  

I plan on ordering food from there.  Especially the protein bars.  I'm going to need those for my trip next month I'm sure because I'm going to be trapped in fast food central.  Soup will be a big part of my diet I'm sure.  But at least I won't be spending that much on food.  Next I'm going to have to work on getting my vitamins etc.  I plan on grilling them at my 2 week visit this week on what all I should get and the best places to get it.  

All in all so far so good. 17 pounds and going.
